Valentine’s Day is around the corner and our Design Team have been busy bees creating precious cards in celebration of this special day!

Here is another collection of pretties for our inspiration! I hope you are encouraged to create cards for your loved ones and dear friends. Nothing compares to the joy of opening our mailboxes and receiving some love and happy mail :)

My little collection of rubber stamp sets are available at my Etsy store. I ship them directly from my studio and each set come signed by me :) Happy Mail directly to your mailbox!

The rubber stamp sets are made of high-quality, deep-etched red rubber and come already mounted on EZ-Mount Foam ready to be trimmed. You can use them with your acrylic stamp blocks. Each set comes packaged in a cello bag.

At this time I have five sets available….

I'm working on my ✿NEW SPRING COLLECTION of Rubber Stamp Sets ✿ and soon you will be able to be part of helping me select which designs will go to the press! I'm really excited and looking forward to show you all of the new cute designs!

Here is a gorgeous and fabulous idea by my dear friend, Holly Mays (Design Team). What a clever idea! She created this cute card using my “Cups of Kindness” Digital Stamp and using paper piecing as her main technique.

Great tip from Holly: “The paper I used was smaller than normal copy paper size. I put a bit of tape at the bottom of the patterned paper and adhered it to white copy paper. I ran it through the printer.”

Next Step: “I put double stick tape on the back of the patterned paper and cut the cups out ~ I then attached them to my white cardstock.”

Final Step: “After paper piecing the cups ~ I colored the flowers with copic markers. Bling was added to the center of the flowers ~ LoVe me some BLiNg!”

I’m really excited about this New Year! In the upcoming weeks I will be sharing more wonderful ideas from our Design Team and more! Stay tuned!

Are you part of my Facebook Group? I invite you to join me! You will love hanging out with a wonderful and very talented group. We share lots of great ideas and tips, and once a month you are able to enjoy my exclusive FREEBIES!

We are in the midst of school supplies shopping, new shoes, new clothes and making sure we have everything for that first week of school. Kids are excited to go back to school and see all of their friends and make new ones. I still can't believe my boy is entering middle school! And my girl is going to 10th grade! Oh Lord, can't believe it! I'm so incredibly proud of them, they are such great and good kids. Truly blessed to be their Mama.

Our Guest Designer Mina sent me this stunning card! Simply gorgeous! She colored the digi image using Distress inks and paper pieced her dress using this beautiful embossed paper. Love all the embellishments and details like stitching and layering. I love it!! Thank you so much Mina!

I'm so grateful and touched by the overwhelming response to my digi designs. Digi stamps are going to homes not only here in the United States but countries like Canada, Puerto Rico, Germany, Peru, United Kingdom, Sweden, Australia and Africa! How fantastic! Thank you for welcoming Whimsy and Stars designs to your homes!

What's the latest doodles I'm working on? I'm working in brand new designs for The Angel Company's brand new catalog coming this Summer and I'm also designing new digi stamps coming early this April! A happy Busy Bee here!

Some good news! I began adding some sample cards to some of my digi stamp listings (on my Etsy store) making it a bit easier to visualize how the digis would look on a card. I want to thank all of my wonderful Guest Designer Team and faithful Whimsy and Stars fans who have been sending me such precious sample cards to feature here on this blog and on my Etsy store. Thank you so, so much!! Keep them coming!! xo

I love Stephanie card designs! One of the things I like of her cards is how she stitches her cards and layers all the papers together to create such sharp-looking cards. I also love her card sketches and coloring.
